Ann: Presentation to Noosa Mining Conference, page-5

This is the same presentation we have seen like 10 times now. I could understand spending money on promotion if we had some good results from our drilling programs. But so far nothing we have drilled has yielded good assays. Nothing has been commercial. Just pockets of uneconomic mineralization.

Each time we drill, I think: OK this time we will find something. And then comes the results, and the best assay is an isolated hole with like 20m at 0.7 g/t ?! 160m from surface

Prancing around the world presenting middling grades and uneconomic results that aren’t even close to surface is a waste of shareholder funds. A friend who is a mining engineer says Barton’s presentations have become an industry joke designed for retirees who don’t know anything about mining. All sizzle - but no steak.

Here’s hoping the next program finds something cos I’m losing hope.
